This comes after the two were denied induction into Achimota School for wearing dreadlocks.
Notwithstanding serious public tension, Achimota has wouldn’t concede them. The dad of one of the young men has clarified that he would indict the issue.
In a Facebook post located by unitedshowbiz.com.gh on the page with the name The 1931 James Town Young men Accra Foundation “The Bleoo Center Workforce”, have offered their viewpoint and underneath peruses;
With regards to strict resilience in our SHSs, GES and different schools have a long way to go from Accra Foundation. As Muslims, we shaped a tiny minority, under 1% (2006-2008), yet we were dealt with unique and regarded from the highest point of the organization to the base… by the base I mean (Gideon Osei, Olayinka Aminu, and exactly two others).
Our Benefactor was a Christian, when the main Muslim instructor, Mr. Swallah, left. What’s more, we had a committed spot of love.
The guidelines of Accra Institute specify the ideal opportunity for feasting however think about what, during the period of fasting, these principles are loose as far as we’re concerned Muslims, we get our lunch and dinner saved until we break our quick, and we eat after every other person has. (Accra Institute didn’t fall under this basic plan).
In Accra Foundation, we were never compelled to go to Sunday administration. (that never killed Christianity or harmed the school). My dearest companions were petition heroes and SU leaders and we have lived cheerfully ever later…
The School assembly room, which is the BEST SHS Amphitheater in the Entire of Ghana (u can save that discussion for another day😠) at the time charged GHC 1000 for its use.

We had free admittance to it for our projects and thus, GMSA (Ghana Muslim understudies Affiliation) More noteworthy Accra locale, wanted to sort out territorial projects in our school.
That didn’t cause the school to retrogress neither did it influence our presentation. As a matter of fact, the general smartest understudies in 2006 and 2007 were Mustapha Abeka, and Nurudeen separately, similar coming to the NSMQ for the particular years.
Don’t actually have the foggiest idea what occurred during our time (2008), Aliu Musah Zulkifiru ought to have. Me di3 I was a competitor and I could have done without prepares that way.
Likewise, we get exeat effectively to go to GMSA programs outside the school. We had simple admittance to the Director then, at that point, Samuel Ofori and he generally invited us. The new director, a Fire up. Father, additionally I hear has been exceptionally inviting.
As of late, Accra Institute acknowledged a dreadlocked understudy and he finished without “torching the school”. So how troublesome is it for different schools to imitate these basic models from the BEST SCHOOL in GHANA.?? What is the cost? Rules are made by people and these guidelines can be viewed as dependent upon the situation.
In Accra Aca we have a maxim which says: non-scholae sed vitae discimus, which deciphers, Not so much for School but rather forever!! Bleoobi Shaibu Rashid.
